--Psychosemiotic Reflections on Patriotism and Identification following Father’s day 6.20

FROM OUR FOREFATHERS’ FOREHEAD – ATHENA (Helen)

(subtext2 Is The U.S. Senate Honoring Terrorists? …If Rich says so… )

….Frank Rich’s remarks on the Nation’s birthday today (NYTimes week, 7.4) begin by recalling West Virginia’s Senator Robert Byrd’s demise. His corpus was honored to lie in state on the Senate floor, where he poured out his life. However, his KKK background from younger days, plus his opposition to Lyndon Johnson’s civil rights legislation, are are brought up to debunk. Rich calls incidents of racial violence in l964 “terrorism.”. That makes either him or the U.S. Senate utter fools, take your pick. Is it honoring a terrorist? --or is he ‘terrorist mongering’ American history . The KKK wasn’t “terrorist” in the sense of violence instigated by foreigners against the nation. That is a stretch to link the predicate used by America for its enemy, Al Queda; and Israel’s Palestinian/Lebanese enemies, Hezbollah, Hamas. Now the latent domestic political agenda becomes manifest: it goes back to white southern slaveholder state mentality; morphs via group-fantasy into Nazi’s terrorizing Jews in the Holocaust; comes out today in “The Tea Party Era” (sic) -- loosely organized (lol) ‘dangerous right wing’ nativists – in a political discourse hijacked by “Leftist/’liberals’”, and the “Kagan Right”  a Union of Opposites if there ever was one. That’s Rich.

Footnote to The Declaration

“Usurpation”, charged against Britain by the colonists was late 18th century terminology covering roughly what early 21st discourse calls “hijacking” (compare ‘stings’, substitutions, bait-switch). Then, the issue was England’s right to tax colonial produce and trade. Today, the issue is who “we” are, after illegitimately elected representatives, with their controlled mass media of communication, have hijacked our government, political discourse and on its way to usurping our very identity.

The Nation magazine called for a 200 word reply to “What is Patriotism? You tell us.” Here is what must be said, to them, to all.

The word “Patriot” is a grammatical derivative, with “patriarch”, “patrimony”, of the Latin root, “pater-”, commonly translated into English as “father”. Thus, by etymology, patriotism is the state, feeling, expression of honor toward Archetypal Male Progenitor. This Archetype, though strictly speaking a hypothetical construct, is a psychosemiotic unity* traceable by overlapping, fusing, emerging in collective memory, from common human childhood stage of awakenings: to parental gender difference. In unconscious fantasy layering, this succeeds the placental good-bad//nurturing-poisonous ur-dynamic split. The Freudian dream-thought, looped by the Archetype into distribution of Father from Head to Toe via prepuce, traverses these opposites: Athena, born of no woman, wisdom streaming from the brow of Zeus in full body armor; Kagan, personifying Zeus’s prepuce, looped through the Romish Papacy (“the Roberts Court”).

The two (Be-) Fore- 4 – Fathers: Oedipal God Almighty (command power of Wisdom), and Mothers: Placental Goddess (“She Who Must Be Obeyed”) --layering of shared group-fantasies that define delegate positions of consciousness.

Almost without exception, our America forefathers were, in religio-ethnic terms, white, Protestant, European, predominantly Anglo-Saxon. Not just blacks and women were excluded from participation in affairs of state; in most regions, this was true of Catholics and Jews, as well.

Compare this with today’s religio-ethnic distribution of Supreme Court Justices, 9-0 Catholic-Jewish over Protestants. Our forefathers legal legacy has been hijacked and had its spiritual cannon overturned by ‘adopted Americans’, responsive to off-shore powers and influences, namely, the Vatican and Israel. The “Kagan Right” is the other side of Group-Fanatasy consciousness of the “Maddow Left”. As “feminists” they are joined at the hip by “yes//(yes.no): homosexual identity. Females of the Right, e.g. Sarah Palin, backed by neoconservative Jew Wm. Kristol, vrs. Females of the Left; this intra-gender (Sister-sibling) conflict is where current Archetypal differences are presently most energized. This is how Betty Friedan and The Feminine Mystique wound up on SCOTUS. It is represents the Jewish side of the psychosexual opposites of America’s forefathers.

The Catholic side…tbc

Patriotism in America today begins with revolt against this usurpation. In Frederick Nietzshe’s phrase it is a transvaluation of all values. The Golden Rule, for instance, to which Christians adhere privately as a Holy teaching, is reversed by Israel’s preemptive strike policy, now threatening atrocity toward Iran. Patriotic Christians therefore oppose all political factions, frames and issues predicating on Catholic-Jewish understanding of terms relating to America’s soul legacy through the Fathers. These have been psychodynamically replaced by Mother, female gendered side of the pre-Odipal parental duplex,

They’ve pulled off the Great Bait- Switch: the Super-Ego functions (to define the “good” child’s I-ideal) are shifted from Father to Mother. It is mass historical psychic regression, with incipient psychosis as unconscious group-fantasies emerge driven by powerful accumulative forces. Patriotism today also calls for confronting them. .

Mother-substituted-for- Father to frame America’s collective Ego ideal.

**** supplement

I S is, again. Returned as “identification”, this time.

Contexts (grammars) of use: logical, psychological, esoteric (awakening of the 6th sense through self-remembering)

Identity (logic) is what is expressed in sentences by signs ‘is’ and ‘=’.

The syntax of these posits the possibility of name-thing (1-1) relatedness throughout the domain of consistent discourse.

Formally: “x is F” for Socrates is mortal”, “x = y” for “x is identical to y”. “is” and “=” define the two kinds of sentences of formal logic, predicative (Russell) and set-theoretical (Cantor, Quine).

--Identifying (with …’X’…) is used in general psychology following Freud, others, for a state/process of the psychic apparatus in which the distinction between self-and-objects perceived is dropped from consciousness.

-----Identification -- the state of sleeping man, thinking himself to be aware of who he is through his “Ouspensky’ ( own name used in the third person for oneself, as for an “I” unit only in relation to that.) Merger of consciousness with content lashes the individual to perceptual treadmills, within which identification perpetuates mechanical unity of sleeping man.

This state can be observed in other, secondary states, as perpetually sleeping man, dreaming he is living his own life understood in identified terms. (cf. the “Trueman” movie ).

****
Note: ‘Identification’ identified and discussed in the context of esoteric psychology is not the same as adopted political self- identification, though American ‘identity politics’, grounded in appeal to “democracy” as honored by the paternal bond inherited from our forefathers – offers itself, or is offered, as substitute for work on oneself. By predicating on factors in the blood-birth-rebirth-reproduce sequence (including trauma).

Thus: collective ‘awakening’  EVERYONE TRANCED OUT  NO chance to wake up ‘within this system’.

Esoteric confidential: identification -- as G. sets it out, well stated by Ouspensky, ch. 8 – is with a specific self-image, literally with an image of self-as-acting in visual space: real, dreamed, or virtual. Thus no actual image of self-in-space, however great a shock it carries, can accomplish the goal of waking a person up (by connected self-remembering constituting the third state of consciousness). In fact, if the shock is too great, any momentary flash of an alternate objective totality will, as the experience of a sleeping man, merely reinforce the conditions it crystallizes.
